Dra. Katrijn Verhasselt

Katrijn Verhasselt is a researcher, teacher and, above all, curious about how data can help us understand complex problems. After studying nautical sciences and physics, she worked at the Royal Observatory of Belgium, before returning to Antwerp Maritime Academy. Today, she combines her PhD research into the modelling of long-term corrosion with teaching mathematics and physics. In recent years, her interests have increasingly shifted towards design of experiments, data analysis, programming and Bayesian statistics – subjects in which she enjoys seeking robust answers to challenging research questions.
